Simple and cozy Christmas decorating ideas

1. Cozy throws and pillows

Adding cozy throw blankets and pillows is a fast and easy way to decorate the bedroom for Christmas. This faux fur throw blanket has quickly become one of my very favorite things even though I've only had it a few weeks.

2. Festive sheets on the bed

Use holiday sheets instead of your regular ones. You'd be surprised how this little change makes such a nice impact.

3. Decorate a lamp

Another easy way to add holiday spirit is by adorning your lampshades. I attached this small boxwood wreath to the finial of the vintage lamp in our master bedroom and let it dangle over the side.

4. Set out Christmas magazines and catalogs

Magazines and catalogs have the prettiest covers this time of year. Set some on a pretty tray for a simple way to add Christmas decor to your bedroom, living room, or family room.

15. Add a little red wagon to the front porch

Welcome your guests with some cozy front porch decor. This was so simple to put together. I put a small Christmas tree in a pretty container and placed it and some wrapped boxes in a fun little red wagon. The old sled, buffalo plaid scarf, ice skates, and snow boots add even more Christmas charm.
